Hi,
A acquaintance of mine has decided they want to transfer their entire website and all associated email accounts from my server hosting to another host completely and have someone else admin it.
I'm quite happy for this to take place but I'm slightly in the dark about how it all goes, having never done it before. I want to wash my hands completely of the entire site, domain and all email accounts and have nothing to do with it in future so I'm not keen on simply letting them point at my nameservers here on my own hosting. I'd rather it went completely in one go!! ( Long story, wont go into any details
).
I'm thinking the best way for the "guts" of the site to be handed over is to simply burn all the files to a DVDR and hand that over to them?.
But what about the technical issues?. How do I transfer the domain completely to them?. And as far as email accounts go, how do they transfer those over?. Once the domain is on their hosting do they simply set up the corresponding email accounts in their cPanel and then re-enter their own mailserver details in Outlook, Windows Mail etc?.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
